Your 4430 and 4640 are 12V tractors not 24V. You have the two 12V batteries in parrallel for 12V. On a dual battery 12V system, connecting two 12V in parrallel is the way to go. To get the same power on 12V vs a 24V system. The current has to be doubled when at 12V. Taking the same sized starter body casting and starter cables. When set up for 24V the max possible power output is 50% to 400% higher than a "equal sized" 12V system. A lot of variables depending on how it's designed. Degree of flux saturation, avalable current etc. We don't run high HP electric motors on voltages greater than 120V just for fun. For the average tinkerer, a straight 12V system is easier to fumble through than a 12/24V split or a 12v run/24V start system.

If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
